I use a regular minnow trap.The cylindrical ones with the concave ends,unfortunately,all but the biggest ones can get back out if they're not checked regularly.I've got them in a brackish section of the Pawcatuck,there are plenty of eels.A buddy of mine (who isn't the least bit interested in fishing)says the river(stream)behind his mothers house in Smithfield is loaded with them.As far as bait goes,the best I've used is the cooked shells of steamers(after having eaten them).Giood luck.
